English into Arabic Report

The End of a 23-Year Regime

By Hammouda Salhi

On 13 January 2011, my close friends invited me to their house in les berges du lac, a quarter

located in the northeast of Tunis. This is a symbolic place, as it houses the embassies and

consulates of many countries, not to mention the Arab Interior Ministers' Council.

There we drank the famous, extraordinary mint tea, which contains caffeine that increases energy

and mental alertness. The warm drink is served especially as a sign of hospitality and friendship --

in fact, it is believed to contain all of the elements necessary to ensure life and hope. I daresay that

mint tea is the secret ingredient behind Tunisia's peaceful uprising.

Before nightfall, as I headed to where I live in Tunis not very far from downtown, I began to hear

the loud and repetitive chants of protests coming from somewhere near Habib Bourguiba Street, the

main street in Tunis. When I arrived there, I found that a crowd of thousands had assembled outside

the Ministry of Interior, chanting, "Ben Ali, that's enough!" and "Game over!" These people were

young, old, rich, poor, and both casually and smartly dressed. Some were armed with Tunisian

flags and bread loaves -- a pitiful defense against the tear gas, tanks, and bullets.

January 14, 2011 marked the 28th

day of the Tunisian protests. Shaking off their fear of the security

services, Tunisians were able to force their way to the Ministry of the Interior and lead a revolution

that finally toppled the most repressive police state in the MENA region after 23 years of iron-fisted

rule.

Before departing, Ben Ali signed a decree handing interim presidential powers to Prime Minister

Mohammed Ghannouchi. Mr. Ghannouchi announced that he was taking charge of the situation on

the basis of Article 56 of the Tunisian Constitution. But the Constitutional Court decided that it was

Article 57 that should be followed, whereupon Speaker of the Parliament Fouad Mebazaa was given

authority over the government instead.

I woke up the next morning to hear that President Obama had saluted the "brave and determined

struggle for the universal rights," applauded "the courage and dignity of the Tunisian people," and

called on the Tunisian government "to respect human rights and to hold free and fair elections in the

near future that reflect the true will and aspirations of the Tunisian people." Though Western

officials have a double standard for Middle Eastern countries when it comes to democracy, I think

that in the case of Tunisia, human rights and freedom of expression should be extended to Islamists

as well.

Corporate management Even in willington it rains

After the boom and the bust, the backlash. Barely a week goes by without fresh

initiatives from regulators and politicians to improve standards of behavior in America’s

boardrooms. Yet one change may not had the attention it deserves.That could be because it

is said to be happening in, of all places, Delaware.

Small , wealthy and welcoming , the state of Delaware once treated America’s corporate

elite like visiting rock stars. In return for their tax dollars, companies that made the state

their home enjoyed the protection of its law courts, which sanctioned such aids as the

poison pill and the “ just say no” takeover defence. Corporate America still flock to the state

financial capital, Willington: more than 300,000 companies are incorporated under

Delaware law, including more than half of the Fortune 500 firms. But the welcome may

have lost some of its warmth recently .Increasingly, say state’s boosters , companies come

to Delaware at the behest of shareholders, not management.

The paper derives from a feeling of much apprehension and bewilderment about the way lexical ambiguity has been dealt with by translation researchers over a considerable period of time. While linguistic research puts an emphasis on the centrality of this phenomenon in language, where most lexical items are claimed to be ambiguous to some extent (Pustejovsky, 1995). The paper attempts to present an empirical and systematic corpus-based method for allowing trainee translators to discuss the often underestimated and neglected problem of complementary polysemy (CP) in the translation process.

4. Video 7: V7- Narrative theory- Baker. 44’:07”

As political conflict is increasingly played out in the international arena, the role of translators and interpreters, as participants in this environment, is a key concern for us all. Translation and Conflict: A Narrative Account draws on narrative theory, and examples from historical as well as contemporary conflicts, to examine how translation functions in the context of conflict and violence. Mona Baker argues that translators are placed in a complex position inside a multitude of narratives, and are not, and cannot possibly be, the 'honest brokers' we imagine, as illustrated by the increasing number of activist communities of translators. Presenting an original and coherent model of analysis which focuses on both translation and interpretation, Baker shows how the narrative location of the source text is maintained, undermined or adapted, and that far from being an adjunct to social and political developments, translation is a crucial component of the process that makes these developments possible in the first place. Given an increased interest in the positioning of translators in politically sensitive situations, as in the case of Katharine Gunn at GCHQ, and in settings such as Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Kosovo, this book is a timely exploration of the importance of the role of translators and interpreters to the political process. Including research questions and further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter, Translation and Conflict: A Narrative Account will be of interest to students on courses in translation, intercultural studies and sociology as well as the reader interested in the study of social and political movements. Mona Baker is Professor of Translation Studies and Director of the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies, University of Manchester. She is author of In Other Words: A Coursebook on Translation; Editor of The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies, Founding Editor of The Translator, and Vice President of the International Association of Translation and Cultural Studies.

NCATE1 Standards

NCATE revises its unit accreditation standards every seven years to ensure that the standards reflect current research and state-of-the-art practice in the teaching profession. The Standards Committee of NCATE’s Unit Accreditation Board is charged with the task of revising the unit standards. The Standards Committee agreed at the outset of the revision process that this would be a minor revision of the 2001 performance-based standards. The primary focus of this revision is to refine the existing standards by clarifying meaning and streamlining content.

In revising the standards, NCATE’s Standards Committee heard from a wide range of educators and policymakers and conducted hearings at professional conferences. The work of the Standards Committee was continuously posted to NCATE’s website. Feedback was regularly received, read, and incorporated. State policymakers were briefed and NCATE solicited their feedback. By the time that NCATE’s Executive Board ratified this set of standards in May 2007, the field had provided significant guidance in the development of the standards.

The standards measure an institution’s effectiveness according to the profession’s expectations for high quality teacher preparation. The education profession has reached a general consensus about the knowledge and skills educators need to help P–12 students learn. That consensus forms the basis for NCATE's unit standards and specialized program standards. The specialized program standards are an integral part of the NCATE accreditation system as they describe the specialized content that teacher candidates should master.

Oil flows with wine in French countryside

By Gregory Viscusi

Gilbert Michaud drove his car past the stone church of Bergères-sous-Monmirail,crossed a field of grazing sheep and stopped in a vineyard- to admire an oil field.

“That’s my favorite well” , said Michaud. The district manager for lundin petroleum, ignoring green countryside as he watched the well’s lever move steadily up and down. “It produces 190 barrels a day with high quality and very little water”.

It’s not just nice scenery that is attracting oil companies to France. High oil prices, political stability and low taxes on small fields add up to profits for companies like Ludin based in Sweden; Toreador Resources of Dallas, Texas; and the Canadian company vermillion Energy Trust.

They have all bought French oil fields or obtained exploration permits in the past two years , saying that with lower overhead and new horizontal-drilling techniques they can make money from deposits that major oil companies have abandoned as too small.

Lundin has oil fields in Indonesia , Tunisia , Iran and Sudan ,yet last year it earned 37 percent of its revenue and 51 percent of its 2002 operating profit of 296 million Swedish kronor , or $37.5 million ,from its wells French fields.

Operating profit from Toreador’s French wells was 24 percent of sales in the first half of this year , compared with 18 percent from its wells in the United States.

“ These smaller companies with lower costs are breathing new life into these fields “,

Said Carole Mercier ,head of the domestic-exploretion division at the F rench Industry Ministry’s energy bureau.
